Wear Resistance of Ceramic Cutting Inserts Using Nitride Coatings and Microtexturing by Electrical Discharge Machining by Marina A. Volosova, Anna A. Okunkova, Elena Y. Kropotkina, Enver S. Mustafaev, Khasan I. Gkhashim

“…The most spread material for those tools is cutting ceramics based on oxides, nitrides of the transition and post-transition metals, and metalloids. This work considers the wear resistance of the cutting insert of silicon nitride with two unique development coatings — titanium–zirconium nitride coating (Ti,Zr)N and complex quad nitride coating with TiN content up to 70% (Ti,Al,Cr,Si)N with a thickness of 3.8–4.0 µm on which microtextures were produced by the assisted electric discharge machining with the electrode-tool of ø0.25 mm. …”
